The Elephant in the Room

Author(s): Peter Hamilton Company: Clockschool Theatre Running time: 2h 15min approx

After a vision of his own mortality, Ashley Davenport, a wealthy young Englishman, seeks to give up everything and embrace a life of poverty and devotion. But not just yet.

Checking himself into an expensive retirement home, he is surrounded by a cast of unique characters all with their own dreams and aspirations.

As Ashley navigates through life and searches for his purpose, he meets Kim-Ly, a young Vietnamese woman who dreams of becoming a cosmologist but is an illegal immigrant. Together, they turn Ashley’s Edwardian villa, complete with a live Indian elephant, into a haven for young illegals to find their footing in life.

Through a series of comedic and dramatic encounters, they discover love in unexpected places and embark on an all encompassing journey of self-discovery and growth.
